Eyepiece Focusing
The Eyepiece has been factory set to be in focus and should need very little adjustment in the
field. You should only need to turn the eyepiece by several turns in either direction to be in
focus. If you feel resistance in adjustment, do not exert force. Reverse direction. Continue until
the image is in focus.

FIBERSCOPE MODELS
This manual covers all the FSI and FSX Fiberscope models and variations. This manual is divided
into the FSI and FSX models and each model is addressed pertaining to the features including shaft
type, lighting, switching, and batteries.
The coupler has a Nitryl O-ring which
may need a thin film of silicone grease or
Vaseline from time to time. This will
facilitate the flashlight to slide in.
